Judicial Year: Palermo Prosecutor's Office, 'Crimes Committed by Minors on the Rise, Crack Dealing Proliferates'

Palermo, 25 Jan. (Adnkronos) – "Common crimes committed by minors are on the rise. Very young people have been responsible for crimes against the person and the places where crack is sold are constantly proliferating". This was stated by the Attorney General of Palermo Lia Sava at the inauguration of the judicial year. "During the time period under analysis, the Public Prosecutor's Office for Minors has been extremely committed to protecting those under the age of 10 from violent family contexts, which facilitate the acceptance of the deviant offer of organized crime. In Cosa Nostra, the children of bosses are increasingly candidates to take the reins of command and we have cases of cocaine and crack dealers as young as XNUMX years old - she says - Drugs have even been seized from a child's play bench. We have documented situations of minors who witness the drug dealing activity of their family members, creatures sacrificed to crime".
